I had a house on the coast with a pool and a beach out in the back and I could even go snorkeling in the backyard and then it was just beautiful and I had money because I wasn't spending it on a Caribbean island.

So I had a beautiful Caribbean place, okay, and I needed somebody. I just needed somebody.

So every now and then if I could see somebody like a candidate and I'd sit down and try to talk them into it.

So I remember I was at this yacht club. This woman came in on a yacht and she wasn't sure where she was going to go next or something.

So I thought, I got a great line. You know, boys are looking for a good line. I got one. I said, well, how would you like to come and spend some time in my villa and hang out here?

And she paused and she looked at me and then she just looked me straight in the eye. She says, I can't be with you. You're too needy.

Yes, that's exactly, you know, and I said, thank you very much. I needed that. It was like a slap in the face, wake me up. I needed that. I walked away from that lunch.

And I started going home and go, well, look, you live in the most beautiful place. You got money in your pocket. You got a great job.

The world sure is, I say Bruce, talking to self, you can't be happy with all this stuff you got.

And I said, well, I'm not going to go seek another partner or a partner until I actually learn to be happy myself.
